yeah very very comfy to sleep on, but it depends on your tent if it would fit, if it has sloping sides and esp the back of the tent then you will find that you loose a lot of room, your best putting the tent up and getting out the measuring tape but make sure you measure at the same height as the top of the matteress

Check your tent's drawing for dimensions and compare them with the airbed to see if it would fit?

Bear in mind that the number of berths for tents are based on the size of sleeping bags/single person self-inflating mattress.

Therefore, a 2-berth tent may not have sufficient room for a double airbed.

Thanks
It's a 6 man outdoor revolution airdale. With 3 x 2 across the back.
Someone else has mentioned that the tall airbeds I'm looking at are to long and to high for tent pods so think I will probably stick with standard ones

I've got a double height single air bed and it's VERY snug (pretty much wedged!) into the bedroom walls (lengthwise) and intrudes width-wise into floor space due to the sloping angle of the bedroom walls. As a single height bed it's a perfectly OK fit.

Due to the height/wall slope, you also find your head and feet are a bit too close to walls if you are tall.

The upside is it's VERY comfortable (annoying head/feet contact with walls aside!)
